When Hal Emden hears about a contest that offers winners the chance to test the newest game from his favorite designer on a cutting-edge, unprecedented virtual reality system, he has to try his luck. Surprisingly, he wins. A full week, all expenses paid, to play the fully immersive game Tides of Magic Online. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, it's not like Elwin, the creator of the game and series, is an insane psychopath intent on trapping them in his virtual world for purposes unknown...right?

When programmer Jeff Lawing gets the opportunity to join Singularity Online, the world's first realistic VRMMO and the testing ground that will lead to the Singularity, he leaps to accept.

All life on Earth has been stolen away by The System. It was transported to another world at the behest of a distant galactic empire that lives in terror of humanity's potential. Ben - just a normal, if not slightly above average guy - had been about to go on the first real vacation of his adult life. But plans changed. Now, he must contend with danger and mystery in a world full of monsters, magic, and treasure. Armed with nothing but his wits and a special item given to him by The System, he embarks on a damn good adventure.

Eight internet friends have an "IRL" meeting in a mountain cabin. But instead of the long weekend get-together they planned, they're suddenly caught up in the end of the world as they knew it! They just met for the first time in real life last night, and today's group wake-up call is strange messages floating in the air telling them that something called a "System Start" has just happened. Now magic works, and technology doesn't. Cell phones won't work, cars won't start, and it's 10 miles to the nearest town. Some of them have families to worry about.

According to the guide that was trying to help him understand his new life, Clay should already know most of what he needed to succeed; all of the finer parts regarding the relationship between Heroes and dungeons should be common knowledge.

Unfortunately, after one accident too many that leaves the old blacksmith completely disabled, it would seem he has no other choice but to hang up his hammer. However, that would be underestimating the stubbornness of the self-made man.

Publisher's Summary
Jack was enjoying life as a broke snowboarding instructor in Lake Tahoe until an accident happened.
Due to a hospital mix up, his life takes a novel turn, and he ends up inside New Lands Online...as its first ever digital human. He never signed up to be the main character in an ultra-realistic virtual-reality game where bodily functions are as real as can be and he has to learn new skills to survive.
But from the arena where he has to fight to survive, to the Three Rivers, a small village where he experiences multiple adventures, to Boon Peak, where he gets a taste of his old life, Jack encounters entertaining action. The progression from newbie to druid with magic powers is a thrill ride filled with friendship, humor, magic and more.
Will Jack level up, or will the game world get the best of him for the 978th time?
Encounters is a LitRPG/Gamelit adventure.

All over the place
This story is a bit of a mess. At times it reads like two different books with two different protagonists smashed together. Plot threads are introduced and shunted immediately when the next one comes along.
The protagonist is fighting smartly one second, then stopping in the middle to gloat, or literally turn his back on an enemy to watch an egg hatch...
He's sick after killing one group of murderers, is fine with killing another group.
Every time he glances at his stats, we get a 5 minute monotonous run-down of the entire sheet. Every bit of skill xp is painstakingly read out to the reader.
I'll not be continuing with this series. It just annoyed me way too much to read. The best thing it had going for it - owning an inn in a podunk village with the hopes of growing said village - is tossed aside at the end, along with my interest.

A beginning
While I did enjoy this book I feel that it lacked a little in depth of story. It is however a very good start to what I hope will be and interesting series of books. The characters are good as is the narration and writing. I do however feel a little underwhelmed now that I have finished it.
